An online reputation is very important now days for multiple reasons. A future employer or a client of yours may see how you hold your self in a business setting, but your online profile may show how you are out side of a business setting. As we have been assigned to see what we can find out about your online profile here is what you allow the public eye to see.

I began my search first by logging onto Facebook, and going to our class page. I made sure to spell your name correctly as I started typing your name instantly a profile with a picture of you pulled up, so I knew I had found the right Gage Peterson.

As I continued my search on you through Facebook I found out that you grew up in Morgan Utah, and graduated from Morgan High School. You have studied at Weber state and are now currently studying at Utah State. Also you have been working at Medway Medical from 2013 to current in the intake/collections department. Just from looking at your photos it seems like you are a very out doors person who loves there truck and has a huge passion for snowmobiling. I think it is very smart of you to have pictures of your hobbies that is very important for employers to see what you are passionate about out side of work.

After learning lots about you through Facebook I decided to continue my search through Google. I started first by going to Google images and typing your name in to see what kind of pictures would pull up. Of course this was not a very specific search so I didn’t find you at first. But the pictures that I did see were ones that had been posted to your Facebook. After realizing that pictures might not be the best way to find out information on you. I typed in your name and your hometown of Morgan, Utah. Here I found your LinkedIn profile this is always a great find for a future employer as this shows them that you have a professional side to your online profile. Here I saw that you have multiple connects with some high up people which is truly great. I also really liked how you gave a description of the job that you are currently involved in. This gives me a really good idea of what you would bring to the table at your future job.

I continued my search by typing in your name and then adding Instagram at the end of it. I found your account quite quickly again I saw allot of the same pictures as your Facebook which is a great thing. I say this because it shows that you are the same through out your social media accounts, which is very comforting. Lastly I tried to see if you had a twitter account, unfortunately I was unsuccessful in finding a twitter account that was linked to you.

In conclusion I just want to say that I was very impressed with your online profile. If I were to give you a letter grade you would receive an A. I say this because you have a strong online presence that presents your self very well. The pictures that you have posted and the information provided are very intriguing. It truly shows what you are passionate about and that you have the potential to be a great employee. If I were to make a suggestion to you about your online profile it would be just a little bit more information on your linked in account. Maybe more information about your previous work experience out side of Midway Medical, other then that I was very impressed by your online profile, keep up the good work.

  1. Chandler,

    I think, overall, you did a great job on this assignment. You met all the criteria for what was asked, and even went above and beyond to create a post that was very easy to read, follow, and understand who Gage is, and the experiences he has had thus far in his life. Nice work!

  2. Thank you for the feedback! I was nervous as to what someone would write about me at first but after reading what you had to say I am pleased that I was not only easily searchable but consistent throughout most of my social media. I agree that my Linkedin is a little lack luster and will be looking to improve on that in the future. Again, thank you.
